A software for the one-dimensional cutting stock problem

In this paper, one-dimensional cutting stock problem is taken into consideration and a new heuristic algorithm is proposed to solve the problem. In this proposed algorithm, a new dynamic programming algorithm is applied for packing each of the bins. The algorithm is coded with Delphi and then by computational experiments with the real-life constraint optimization problems, and the obtained results are compared with the other one-dimensional cutting stock commercial packages. The computational experiments show the efficiency of the algorithm. © 2010 King Saud University. All rights reserved
